Personal
While working as a bullpen catcher during a game against Oakland, Phillips met his future fiancee, Molly Ray. She was sitting in the stands as a spectator, and they made eye contact throughout the game. When it went into extra innings, Phillips impulsively wrote his phone number on a ball and threw it to Ray. She sent him a text message, and they subsequently began dating. In recognition of the circumstances of their meeting, they decided to hold their wedding in the bullpen at Safeco Field, after the conclusion of the Mariners' game on June 20, 2010.

Famous quotes containing the word personal:
“I am what is mine. Personality is the original personal property.”
—Norman O. Brown (b. 1913)
“What stunned me was the regular assertion that feminists were “anti-family.” . . . It was motherhood that got me into the movement in the first place. I became an activist after recognizing how excruciatingly personal the political was to me and my sons. It was the women’s movement that put self-esteem back into “just a housewife,” rescuing our intelligence from the junk pile of “instinct” and making it human, deliberate, powerful.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“Adolescence is a tough time for parent and child alike. It is a time between: between childhood and maturity, between parental protection and personal responsibility, between life stage- managed by grown-ups and life privately held.”
—Anna Quindlen (20th century)
